Very bare bones hotel. Old, worn furniture. White walls with not even one decoration on them. Stained carpeting. Reasonably clean otherwise with good water pressure though. Right in town. Oh, the towels are small and thin. For some reason they have written "ship" on them with magic marker.

The Ship motel is located in the heart of Alexandria Bay. It is no more than a two minute walk to the main strip and there is no where within the town that you cannot reach within ten minutes.
THe hotel rooms are simple - either a King or two doubles, there is a small TV and air conditioning. I...

The hotel is very close to restaurants and the waterfront. The room was very clean and comfortable. Free wifi connection was spotty and would drop at times. Front desk staff, Dean in particular, was very helpful and professional.

we went to this hotel and for the price paid it was not worth it at all, you get a 15 inch tv that you cannot even see in , carpets are 30 years old and the staff very rude and not nice.
we got back was 20 min past check out, the hotel was empty for the next day...

Lovely small hotel. We stayed Tuesday and Wednesday night. Very convenient walking distance to downtown,James St, Alex Bay. Not anything fancy, but clean comfortable room. New mattresses and bedding. Staff were all very pleasant, friendly,and informative. We met the cleaning ladies and after a conversation with them it became clear why the rooms were spotless. The gents at the desk...

I gave this motel 2 stars because of the location and it's clean.
The location is right in town so you can park your car and walk. The room is the most basic with a small flat screen. It was clean but that's about it. The mattress is extra firm which was way too hard for me. There is a...

LBPICO, thanks very much for taking the time to write your review on Tripadvisor. We are sorry our neighbors across the street kept you awake. We have spoken with them about this and they assured us they would be more careful in the future. We appreciate your input on our décor and are in the process of some upgrades. Thanks...

Nice little motel. Very clean. Well kept up. Rooms were a little cold temperature wise. "Heat" seemed to just be blowing air. But maybe that is seasonal?
Great location. Park the car and leave it there.
Felt very safe. Would recommend.
Nice place to sit outside your room as the sun sets, have a drink and unwind. Close to Cdn...

Quaint, but clean and adequate for a few day stay. We could walk to anything. The boat tours to the castles were an say walk away. The town was nice with shops and eateries. If you're looking for a no-frills place to stay, this is it.

Perfect location. Walk to anything in the bay. Dean was the consummate host. Would stay there again, no question. Clean, convenient, reasonably priced. What more can I say? If you are staying in Alex Bay, look no further.
